Oh God, be our hope in the middle
Of the drought and the flood
Grant us not wealth, not too little
So we remember You’re in our blood
Teach us to plant in the sorrow
And trust the rain will come
Teach us to lie down in peace
And to rest when the day is done
Oh, we only miss the water when the well runs dry
We can only count the stars in the cloudless sky
Oh darling, won’t you put your hand in mine?
There’s a time for water and a time for wine
Oh God, be our strength in the desert
Be our joy, our daily bread
Sit by the fire and tell stories
Of the days that are ahead
Teach us to walk in the mystery
For to wander is to know
The path of the root to find water
Oh, to wander is to grow
